School psychologists aren't supposed to write books about sex. Doing so would be considered "unethical" and "a fireable offense." Lucky for you, ethics was never my strong suit.

After spending years trying to spice up my sex life, I gave up and took to my journal. Perhaps my gorgeous, cold, number-crunching husband simply wasn't capable of the kind of passion I'd come to expect. After all, my ex-boyfriends (a skinhead turned US Marine turned motorcycle club outlaw, a baby-faced punk rocker out on parole, and a heavy-metal bass player) were every bit as tattooed and testosterone-fueled as the leading men in my favorite romance novels. If I couldn't have that kind of passion again in real life, I could at least write about it. Right? Nobody had to know. It would be my little secret.

Well, guess what?

My husband read that shit.

And guess what else?

He upped his f--king game.

Drunk with power and under the dubious advisement of my best friend and colleague, I began testing the limits, crafting journal entries specifically designed to manipulate Ken's behavior. For the most part, he responded beautifully...except when he didn't.

Loved!! Sexy and refreshingly funny. I heard so much about this book and picked it up when I was craving something different and light. Sort of a book within a book, 44 Chapters is in the form of a journal written by a wife and mother who is experiencing something of a lull in her marriage. She was a tattooed wild child who ended up married to an accountant! How did that happen?!

"It’s a beautiful life Ken has given me, one filled with security and laughter and intelligent conversation and honeymoons in Paris and well-behaved children with long attention spans and cute noses and his-and-hers sinks and 401(k)s and well-manicured lawns. I just wish the orgasms matched the drapes, if you know what I mean."

BB adores her husband Ken but things have gotten a little .... quiet. BB discovers that Ken may have secretly read parts of her journal, and when he does, things get MUCH spicier and hotter between them. Thrilled with Ken's newfound interest in sex, BB decides to embellish the stories of her past boyfriends. The writing is absolutely charming and hilarious, written as if BB was talking to a best friend. I was really hoping for Ken to wake up and take an interest in his marriage because it was obvious they had amazing chemistry together.

"What he does have is a Captain America–style square jaw with a subtle cleft and a permanent five o’clock shadow. He also has enviously high cheekbones. His aqua-blue eyes are hooded by long espresso-colored lashes, and his sandy-brown hair is just long enough on top to allow for a good grip. His physique is lean yet muscular. His sense of humor is dry. He is brilliant and self-deprecating, and he has the ability to skip rocks across any body of water (a secret turn-on of mine). "

This book is best enjoyed with glass or two of wine. I can't believe this is BB Easton's debut book! Each of her past boyfriends was charming, dangerous, sweet and sexy in their own way. I loved the descriptions of teenage first love and the '80s references were priceless. BB Easton is nothing if not brutally honest. Her descriptions of married life and babies are spot-on. Everyone can relate to this story! BB spends much of the book hoping that her straight-laced husband will get her name visibly tattooed somewhere on his body. And she just wants him to be a little more aggressive. She doesn't think she is asking for too much!

"I want to take him with me everywhere. I want us to live a hundred years and die at the same time. I want them to mix our cremated remains together, dump us into a river, and watch our mingled ashes swirl like coffee creamer all the way to the ocean. I want our souls (okay, my soul and his, whatever he has, operating system?) to find each other on the other side as soon as possible just so that we can fall in love and make more babies and do it all over again. I just also want him to f-k my brains out. "

This is a very funny book, written with great sensitivity and a sharp eye for detail. BB Easton has already written the next book in this series which is about her boyfriend Knight. What a character!! I can't wait to read his story, 'Skin.' I was pleasantly surprised by this wild and crazy story! After reading this, I feel like BB Easton is an old friend. I love her writing style! Pick up this book if you're in the mood for a funny, very raunchy story.

I can not stress enough how much I loved this book. I am a VERY picky reader and I very rarely consider a book to truly deserve such a high rating. I would not hesitate to give this book a full five stars. I laughed OUT LOUD in several different places and I was on the edge of my seat to find out what would happen next. I did not skim any part of the book (which is rare for me) and I did not want to stop reading even though it was getting late and I had to work the next day. I literally read parts of it to my husband and he laughed too. I'm not going to recap the story for you, that's what the blurb is for. I'll just tell you why I loved it. The characters were fully fleshed out, the book had the perfect amount of descriptiveness so that I could picture it in my head but not get bored with being force-fed unnecessary details, and it was so humorous that I was fully engaged during the whole thing. There is no reason not to buy this book. I absolutely loved it.

While writing in her journal BB referenced conversations with the journal by name. You got it her journal was named Journal. BB informed her friend Journal about fond memories from her past. BB wrote two journals: one from her past included ex boyfriends and one for Ken which was to educate him in areas that BB deemed needed working on.

BB in her younger years was wild, crazy, and bad. BB explored sex at a young age and put up with loser ex boyfriends for attention and love.BB was married to Ken for ten years and had two kids. BB felt sexually deprived after having two kids. Ken was a vanilla lover while BB enjoyed kink and variety. Sara entertained the idea to play an experiment with BB's journal and Ken. Lesson was to use the journal to educate Ken on all fantasies involving BB in the sex department.BB's imagination ran wild. She created some sexy sexcapades with her husband that were clumsy attempts at being kinky and spontaneous. Each attempt was disastrously funny.While trying to spice up her sex life with husband Ken BB wrote about her ex boyfriends hoping to spark some passion into her husband. BB dropped hints in her journal entries encouraging Ken to give compliments, provide a pet name, initiate sex, and tattoo her name on his body.

The blurb totally sold me on this book-it made me laugh out loud. At times, the book did too. The premise was a hoot, and the author's inner monologue is pretty much non-stop fun.

Yet, there were moments when I found myself tiring of the author and her um, obsessions. I fell in love with "husbot" Ken, who I found to be long-suffering and endearing. I loved when she took a moment out from her complaining or reminiscing to actually sing Ken's praises. He sounded strong, sexy, and (mostly) fabulous.

If you are not a fan of sarcasm, this book is not going to be for you. This is definitely an 18+ read, based on the steam factor, adult situations, as well as language.
